So I was talking to an internet friend about music. He wanted to know some more music and went to me for some reccomendations. The strange thing is, he told me he listens to music that fits his ''mood''.

So if he feels sad, he likes to listen to sad music, if he feels happy, he likes to listen to happy music, if he is angry, he likes aggresive music,etc.
I actually never thought of it that way. I just pick an album and listen.

If I feel like listening to something aggresive, I just feel like it. I can feel totally fine/calm, but still want to listen to some angry music. Sometimes I do listen to happy music when I'm sad though, or music I feel an emotional connection to. so I guess there are momnts when I do this, without me realising it. But mostly I don't really think of what mood it is. I noticed that in my musicplayer, next to genre you can even sort by ''mood'', and tag certian songs/bands/albums with a mood. I guess that indicates more people do this.

Do you listen to music by moods? I generally don't, but I'd like to hear what you guys think.
